More kids? vs. Stick with 4 vs. Mommy needs some advice

Okay, I know this has absolutely nothing to do with baby names, but I really need some help. Currently, we have 4 girls, Lila, Evelyn, Madison and Isabelle. We started our family young, and our youngest just turned 5. Recently, my husband has been asking if we will go for number 5. He desperately wants a son (who wouldn’t with 4 daughters!). We have the space, time and money. But I am just not so sure. What would be the chance of us even having a boy? Some days I feel like I am happy with our family, and other days I am crying looking through all the girls baby pictures, because I want another litte baby. The girls have also been asking if they are getting any more siblings, or if we are done. I am just looking for some advice. Anyone out there been in my boat? All my friends say 5 is just too many. Please help. I don’t want to take away from the naming process, but if we have another, they will be certainly named here.
Thanks you.

Dear Genie, I need you to help me find a Greek name for a girl. I've already used Theodore and Sebastian for her siblings. But every other Greek girl's name I see is either too pretentious, hard to pronounce, or just too popular now. The only name I can picture using is Caroline, but it's not Greek!

Baby Name Genie:

The Greeks would name her Charissa Zoe. Then, they would stuff her in a wooden horse and give her to the Trojans. So, my advice would be to borrow the name but not the rest of their tactics.
